Lee. Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Well we won't have the money until the end of July, so worst-case scenario, we'll play as a road team. I think I have some Best Western points around here somewhere. Quote Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Doctor Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hearing that Glendale isn't going to make any decisions about the Coyotes and their new Magical Mystery Owner until the end of June, so no relocation this year. Actually, it probably increases the chance of relocation. Unless you think the NHL is ready to cough up millions more to support the franchise there with no guarantee of the new ownership proposal getting the lease they want...

RyanMcD29 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Whatever we do, we gotta put the AHL affiliate in Upstate NY.I don't think Ithaca or Oswego will work due to college hockey, so we'll go with the Auburn Awesomes. If we can't find a nice plot of land to build an arena we can relocate them to Cortland instead. Quote Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 http://www.forbes.com/sites/mikeozanian/2013/05/30/phoenix-coyotes-170-million-sale-to-be-partially-funded-by-nhl/This again. The NHL and Glendale buying the team from themselves.The Coyotes are on the verge of being sold to Renaissance Sports & Entertainment, a group headed by George Gosbee, Anthony LeBlanc and Daryl Jones, pending a new lease at Jobing.com arena that will require the city of Glendale to pay them a substantial fee to run the arena.A source close to the negotiations, who traded candor for anonymity, revealed the purchase price as $170 million. The capital structure would consist of RS&E putting in $45 million of equity, Fortress Investment Group lending $120 million (to be repaid by the fee Glendale taxpayers are going to pay the team to run the arena), and an $85 million loan from the NHL.The $80 million the total capital investment ($250 million) exceeds the enterprise value of the purchase ($170 million) will be used as working capital. In other words, no capital calls even if the team loses a lot of money over the next few years. In addition, the NFL is promising the new owners that they will get the maximum amount of revenue from the league’s revenue-sharing system.The NHL, which bought the Coyotes out of bankruptcy for $140 million in 2009, is being very flexible with its repayment terms for the new owners. As a result, the new owners would not have to pay any money back to the league for the first five years. And Fortress has something akin to warrants that will allow the hedge fund to swap its loan for equity that could ultimately give the firm a 20% equity stake in the hockey team.Well, I see no way this can't fail.

Still MIGHTY Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 You missed bolding all the really good parts!"The capital structure would consist of RS&E putting in $45 million of equity, Fortress Investment Group lending $120 million (to be repaid by the fee Glendale taxpayers are going to pay the team to run the arena), and an $85 million loan from the NHL." - Only $45 million in real money! And $120 million that they still don't have to pay! Screw the Green Bay Packers. The Arizona Coyotes: The People's Team!"In addition, the NHL is promising the new owners that they will get the maximum amount of revenue from the league’s revenue-sharing system." - All the moneys! Just for you, Coyotes! How presh!"The NHL ... is being very flexible with its repayment terms for the new owners. As a result, the new owners would not have to pay any money back to the league for the first five years." - No payments for five years? Just in time for the opt out clause to move to Quebec to make real money!And whoever said Gary Bettman wasn't a great negotiator!
